Oakville has always been a great place for high-end GTA buyers to find the home of their dreams. Whether it’s Toronto elites looking for something bigger and a comfortable lifestyle or internationals adjusting to the life in the GTA, Oakville was and still is a coveted spot. Generous space, world-class amenities, custom-made finishes, high-tech home solutions and a splendid very private and serene surrounding is what characterizes Oakville luxury homes. Adding Oakville’s location to the mix, excellent schools, the busy but heritage-rich downtown area as well as great employment opportunities are some of the reasons high-end GTA homebuyers pick Oakville to be their home.
The demand for Oakville’s luxury housing stayed high even during the pandemic, and we saw a number of luxurious new detached homes (not only condos) being added to the community to meet the demand. Oakville luxury homes for sale vary from old restored heritage homes to contemporary modern new builds, making the variety of choice very wide. Toronto elites, GTA families and internationals looking to buy in the GTA area should explore the Oakville real estate market where some of the most astonishing luxury homes in the GTA can be found. Here is what they will find.
Oakville’s luxury homes are surrounded by nature
Oakville luxury homes are very secluded and very private, often built on huge private lots surrounded by tree-lined streets, private parks, and sometimes they are very close to the lake. The natural element gives Oakville homes a special touch of peace and quiet, which many high-end Oakville buyers are looking for. Luxury detached homes come often with pools, private backyards, outdoor lounge areas in the front and back, all the while surrounded by green spaces and trees as far as the eye can reach.
Oakville luxury homes are large with top-notch finishes
Luxury houses in Oakville are very spacious, often having five-six bedrooms, seven-eight bathrooms, a custom made gourmet kitchen equipped with the best and latest appliances, and several family areas that are usually accompanied by a fireplace, hardwood flooring, heated floors and so much more to offer the highest level of comfort.
Natural lighting and massive windows
Natural lighting matters to all homebuyers and the more of it there is, the better for the ambiance. And while many luxury homes come with plenty of lighting and windows, it is hard to keep up with the gorgeous resort-like views that can be found in Oakville luxury homes. Floor-to-ceiling windows are an essential part of Oakville luxury housing and not only do they let plenty of natural light in, they also provide you with great views of the impeccable surrounding- the trees, the lake, sometimes a park, etc. It is like living in your own private oasis.
Top-level safety and convenience with smart technology
From smart alarm and surveillance systems to automated garage doors, automated heating and cooling systems run through Wi-Fi, you will find that Oakville luxury homes for sale are designed to make your day-to-day life easier in every aspect. Smart tech solutions in homes have come very far, and high-end homeowners in Oakville are among the leaders in following the latest trends.

When it comes to new subdivisions, we give up the mature neighbourhood feel we get in places where trees stretch out and form a green canopy over the street. We exchange this for the convenience of a newly built home in the suburbs with our choice of lot and floor plan, no repairs, and the thrill of being part of a growing community.
However, we frequently overlook the fact that even the most established neighbourhoods today were once brand new. Therefore, we must start like all the older generations and plant trees for our new homes!
So, What Can We Do?
The first step in creating or rebuilding a green canopy is to plant trees where possible on individual lots. It does take time, but not nearly as much time as you might think.
Aside from planting trees, landscaping your yard will help it look more established and comfortable. This will give your garden form and structure, as well as frame the front of your house, and they'll add beauty now and, in the years, to follow. There is an old saying, “the person who plants a tree knowing they will not see its maturity, understands the meaning of life."
Important Tip:
Plant in the fall. Most garden centres cut prices in the fall. You can either save money or get a much more mature tree for the same money. Really a win/win/win. For you, your neighbours, and the planet.
So, let's start planting trees in our newer neighbourhoods! This will not only help the environment, but it will also reward you when it is time to sell!
Contact The Martin Group today for more information, or to find you the right home with beautiful and plentiful trees.
